Hayden gets a week off in Feb. They call it Ski Week.
But instead of skiing we rented a house for a few days in Santa Barbara.
And we had to make sure the house had a pool!
Snow Grandma had a pre-scheduled girls weekend. But Papa was free!
The kids were so excited to have him join us.
Getting their Papa time!
Hailey is almost ready to loose the water wings.
The weather was a little overcast but usually by 2 pm the sun would be out.
But nothing stopped these kids from getting in the pool!
On clear days, the house has an ocean view.
After the pool the kids would chill and watch cartoons or movies.
Ah, relaxation!
But they spent most of the time in the pool. Hailey's hair turned green!
Reading Huckleberry Finn in the evening.
Hailey didn't make it through the chapter!
Grandpa brought his gravity hanging gadget so we could help him set it up. Now he can hang like a bat and hopefully relieve some of the pain in this back. I think it's not helping like he hoped.
More spa time.
Silly-faced Hailey.
Basking in the sun.
Hailey and Papa playing games. She tells him to close this eyes
Then they get stuck and she has to help open them!
While they're shut, she hides the checker pieces.
And he has to guess where they are.
Guess Papa?
There it is!
Hayden showing the boys his muscles.
Swim to Papa.
Getting her courage up!
Go Hailey go!
She made it!
No water wings!
Hayden's turn.
Time at the park. Santa Barbara has the best kid's parks.
Fun for the big kids too.
Papa and Hayden racing.
Remember this photo from a couple years ago?
We took it again.
These kids just can't get enough!
Another fun trip!
